A piece of hardware, with a useless, and costly feature built in, at the loss of better hardware.

the vita and 3ds have the same battery life well similar

Am I the only person that does not get affected by Eye Strain and Headaches of the 3DS? I'm more prone to getting both of those things due to my eyes but every time that I have played the 3DS I have never had a problem with Headaches and Eye Strain with playing over a long period of time.

Mr-Espresso

peopel use that as a negative but its usually only here 95% of the world dont get eye strains or whatever they're an elite group or something

sony stated that its like 5-6 hours which is similar to the 3ds ill look for the article maybe it was a rumor that sony said but you have no proof if its more either

So you're accussing me of lying?:| I, and many others, do get eye strain from 3D.

StealthMonkey4

This is off topic but how do you feel about 1080i? 30 Hz gives me eye strain you see, while I'm ok with 3D you see.

the number was not suppose to be taking serious it was an exaggeration of how only here gets eye strains but to be honest you cant tell im wrong or im right and tbh i hihly doubt anymore then 5% gets eye strains the only way to do that though is to count everybody that has a system and ask

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] Like I asked, do you have proof of the 95%. If not, don't throw random number around ;)JohnF111

thats impossible to ask the only way to get a good estimation is for people to ask the ones who have one....dont you think i know others tried it? theres still no other way to give a good estimation its not flawed just really the only way

I find the 3D to be the leasst useful feature. It is the only actual gimmick on any Nintendo system. It is unnecessary and adds very little to the game.

And I've said prior, this is not news at all.

Third Parties have already done this with games that focus on the Gyro-Scope completely disable the 3D, ei. Cubic Ninja, Super Monkey Ball, etc.Nozizaki

Does this inspire confidence to buy the 3DS? Feels like a sinking ship. Again_elation

This isn't bad news at all, it's Nintendo refocusing on how to advertise the 3DS. They put so much effort into showing off the 3D effect that people think that's the only thing the system does. Seeing as how that didnt work, they are now shifting focus on to other features of the system, and I doubt that any game not incoporating the systems other functionality will be 3Dless. Plus any game that heavily focuses on the 3DS' motion capabilities and AR capabilities would be pretty hard to play in 3D.

IF anything this will turn out to be good for the 3DS since it will finally show people that it's a new system with new capabilities and not just a 3D DS.

Old news, I knew this already.

Complain about lack of visually impressive features on the Wii, complain about 3d on the DS. Well done everybody. Well done.

"According to optometrists, one in four people experience eyestrain, become dizzy, or feel ill when viewing 3D images."

That's 25%, five times as much as you claimed....

Psst, hey Iwata, if you build a machine where the primary function isnt used then whats the point of buying the machine in the first place...slvrraven9

This is just Iwata saying that not all games are going to be 3D, as some might serve a better purpose of using other system functionalitieswithout the use of 3D. If you read the latest Iwata asks about Star Fox 64 3D - It seems like they generally don't want to hold back how people experience a game. With 3D, or without 3D, with the gyro sensor controls, or without, with analog controls, or without, etc. I much prefer that then to be confided to using just one thing.

The 3D on the 3D is also optional, I think people often forget this ... you can completely turn it off, which is one of the better features about the device.

He's also not calling it a gimmick, he's stating that once the novelty of the 3D wears off (the initial wow factor), they'll still have the games to draw people into the device. It's the same thing as when the analog stick was first introduced, it was a novelty at one point then that novelty wore off, but it still works just as well

hd is more of a gimmick then 3d

I can't believe that this news is surprising to some people. Did you really think that all games would be in 3D?

Wow :?

[QUOTE="SapSacPrime"]

Nintendo have turned into such a half arsed company... you would expect all the games for a 3D system to support its 3D features, they seem to be thumbeling with gimmicks while losing focus on the market leading software that made them.

charizard1605

How something that you can turn off is hurting games? :p More reason why not use 3D is to achive better prefermence, redering extra frames for 2nd eye costs some power.
